3 Reasons To Buy A Home NOW!!

Stocks are up 50 percent from the March 2009 bottom. Some commodities have risen dramatically. The only asset class left in the cellar is real estate, says Michael Murphy, editor of the New World Investor stock newsletter.

As a result, Murphy is advising investors to buy now for these three reasons:

• Desperate sellers: Both home owners and lenders are eager to unload a flood of foreclosed and underwater properties. Buyers with the patience to push through these complex deals can save a bundle.

• Little competition. Because most people don’t have what it takes to negotiate their way through short sales and REOs, patient investors are winners.

• Low rates. Mortgage rates are at their lowest level in 40 years. If you believe inflation is inevitable, lock in now.

Sick of this hot weather? - check out this Richardson home with pool.

Well, it's not quite an iceberg pool but I have the next best thing (for Texas of course)... a beautifully landscaped home in an established subdivision in Richardson. Within walking distance to Yale Elementary and Yale Park. 3/2/2 with pool is the perfect home for a first time home buyer. Large kitchen and formal dining overlook the covered patio, wood deck and glistening pool. Large family room with vaulted ceilings and built ins. Check it out at 1713 Elk Grove. It's a great value and there are so few homes available in this part of town. Call 214-632-0534 for a showing.

Can't sell your home and need to lease it to make ends meet?

Numbers for July in Dallas were just released today and for the year, sales are up 3% over the same period last year. With that said, July sales were down a whopping 29% over last year (condo's and town homes are down 37%). Even with the fall off in prices there was a 1% increase in prices so not all news is bad.

With the lack of constant sales you may find yourself in the position of the reluctant landlord. If this is something that is rearing its head, read this article. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call us.
